Weighed and Found Metal

IN hygiene-oriented industries, the focus lies clearly on process reliability. However, users do not want to forgo the use of flexible systems, for example in weighing technology. Weighing systems monitor each individual stage of the production process, from weighing to packaging, and document even the smallest of deviations. In the heavily regulated industries in particular, they are used for much more than just weighing.
The Synus and CoSynus range of scales from Sartorius fits in perfectly with the work processes used in the food and pharmaceuticals industry. The newly designed range of scales shows that accuracy, security and detection reliability can be combined with a high degree of flexibility. This ensures a secure weighing process and monitors production.
What's special about this range of scales is that they can quickly and easily be transformed from Synus (high performance scales) into CoSynus (scales plus metal detection device). This is simply a matter of changing the feed belt and using new software. Users can then obtain new scales with an integrated metal detection device within a short space of time. This helps protect consumers from damage to their health caused my metal components and prevents the end product being contaminated with metal.
The metal detection device can detect even the smallest of foreign bodies in products. The sensitivity of the metal detection device meets the very highest standards in various industries. In addition to magnetic metal components, high alloyed steels and non-ferrous metals (copper, brass, aluminium, lead etc) can also be identified. The Sartorius metal detection devices operate according to the following measuring principle: when idle, the high frequency magnetic field remains in a state of static equilibrium. A metal contamination identified by the metal detection device changes the balance of the magnetic field. This shift in equilibrium is digitally processed by an electronic evaluation system and assessed as proof of the metal contamination.
Users can use an interface to configure and control two machines for a clear, easy and timesaving process. The metal detection device is operated using the approved user interface of the checkweigher, as the electronics of the metal detection device are integrated into the checkweigher's electronics system. In the case of queries, it is of great benefit that the technology, support and service for the metal detection technology and checkweigher are all offered by the same company.
Another key advantage is that the product data only has to be set up and logged once. All of the parameters of the metal detection technology are managed and documented in a product and batch-related manner. This ensures that the standards relating to measurement equipment monitoring (HACCP/IFS/ISO22000) are fulfilled to the optimum. The combi-device also saves a considerable amount of space compared to two separate devices. This is of interest to customers who already possess this kind of scales.

Maximum stability
The models are available in various different weighing technology designs. The one thing they all have in common is their characteristic machine body with its typical wave profile, which enables the secure and flexible fixing of the height adjustable weighing and transport system. This guarantees mechanical stability at the highest level with the optimal level of flexibility.
All models are also characterised by the monolithic Sartorius EMK load cell (electro-magnetic force compensation), developed especially for dynamic checkweighers and it represents a particularly high level of accuracy with very short settling times, the highest levels of stAir Force 1
